Is it true that the F30 M Sport upgrade is not going to be available in the US until Summer of 2012? If this is true, who is going to wait another 6 months for the M Sport and who can live without it and will place orders in February?

I'm waiting, without a doubt

Good things come to those who wait.

I love the M-sport additions to the polarizing new front end. As for the steering wheel? I think if I can get it without the color on it, it will be kick a**. If not, meh... because I love the traditional round horn but not the gaudy chrome and color trim.

I'm waiting for the m-sport x-drive 335d.

[jmnbmw]

I'm waiting for July to order my ED for 3 reasons:
1. M-Sport is worth the wait.
2. Hope they change the headlights and the Navigation box
3. Any other bugs

You'll be waiting a long time...I highly doubt the 335d will be available with xDrive

I am not getting the M-Sport package specifically because the steering wheel is horrendous. I'd much rather buy the exterior M-Sport kit after the fact than sacrifice the looks of my interior

Hate to tell you, but you're smoking something if you think they're going to make any design changes 6 months after releasing a new model.

Dammit, so my hopes of the Morgan 3 Wheeler having a 4th wheel in a few months are slim?!

It seems to me that most of M Sport is cosmetic. Except for the M Sport shifter (for manual) and the optional M Sport brakes.

I'd wait, and would want to read some reviews first.

I think I will not wait. Probably go with the Sport with the M Sport suspension. Looks like while MSport will not be available until summer. The M Sport suspension will be an option for November ordering.

[tonmonde]

i'm curious if July/2012 production means we can start ordering for pick up in July.
or they will start building it in july and we get delivery in august or sept. (am i making any sense? haha)

[southlight]

They'll start building M-Sport cars in July 2012 (which is also switchover to 2013 model year).

Personally, I think it's worth the wait. Just to mention a few reasons, there's Estoril Blue II, sportier bumpers and that adorable M Sport steering wheel. You surely can't go wrong with e.g. a Sports line F30 but the M Sport just seems to be better.

So the m-sport version will be model year 2013 from july, thats great . Have you seen the color Estoril Blue II in real life? Mineral grey and Estoril Blue II is two of my favorite colors.

[southlight]

Yea, I've seen Estoril Blue II in real life (see this thread), and it looks stunning on the F30. It's similar to Monte Carlo Blue.

I would like to see any M-sport version, especially the 3er, to have more exclusive components. I still can't figure out why they charge ~$3000 for cosmetic changes.

[justinnum1]

Has BMW ever offered a Msport suspension option? if so how much was it?

What would it offer over a basic sport suspension?

[mookie45]

I wonder when they will up the HP of the engine? They need to update it to be on the competitive side!

So you would rather pay over $2k for the body kit as opposed to the $750 or so to replace a steering wheel?


That doesnt make sense.

Who knows what wheels will be interchangeable and how much it'll cost considering changing airbags, trims, etc..
